Simply fraud. They've charged ~$1k/month, every month, for "renting" equipment worth $500. I had enough, I cancelled. That same day they charged $1k directly from my bank account, without notification or justification. The next day they send the amount to a debt collection service, which I received 1 month later. They have been fully unresponsive to communication. If you search for their name, you'll find they've been found guilty for millions of dollars in fraud, which I suspect is only a small subset of their crimes. Absolutely disgusting. Avoid at all costs.

I purchased a bipap machine out of pocket. I discovered that Apria was then {after purchase} billing my Medicare Insurance for monthly rental. I am now in the process of filing charges against the company with the Arizona Attorney General's Office.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. After a NIGHTMARE of an experience due to an equipment recall (where I was continually billed even though using the machine would cause cancer) I was told a different story every time I called. I was told I didn't owe money and to ignore any calls or letters due to billing cycles etc. I have tried to close my account with them for MONTHS and every time I call I get a different story from a different rep. I was told that my account was closed yet I am still getting billed. I am now told they are charging me for my entire machine..... RUN FAR AWAY. It's not worth 35+ hours of your time on the phone with their customer service.

My child needed a wound vac. They received the prescription from the surgeon the day after we were told he needed one. The surgeon’s office had to call twice over 3 weeks to prompt Apria to call me. Apria called while I was unavailable so I called them back the next day, no callback. Called them again and left a message per their instructions, "If you called within business hours your call will be returned within two hours. If you called after business hours your call will be returned the next business day by noon". I was returning their call per the voicemail they left me…the one and only time they called me.
I called 5 times over 9 business days, excluding Veterans Day. The last one I pleaded for someone to call me back as my child is in pain and missing school. No call. After 2 weeks of not calling me back, I had to involve the surgeon's office yet again, and two other parties, and still no call back. So all in all, this company received 9- 0 calls from myself, another party, and the surgeon’s office within 5 weeks.
We had to get a wound vac from another company which they sent within 48 hours of the prescription being sent over, so someone out there understands that if someone is in need of a wound vac, there is probably a pretty nasty wound open to the elements. You don’t need a wound vacuum for a scratch. Find any other company, do not use this one.

I have been trying to get a CPAP machine since April of 2022. When I call Apria to check the status they blame someone else. It takes 40 minutes to an hour and a half to get through, just to get the runaround.

On 8/5/2022 I became a resident here. I'm very disabled, 74 yrs. old, in need of 24/7 oxygen. This office was assigned to rent my needed supplies by my Ins. Co. From 'day ONE' we DIDN'T get along. I had to call and request they pick up the 'bed' they rented; it caused BACK PAIN in less than 1 week! {We argued!} A few weeks later, I HAD to ask for a SECOND Portable "Innogen" battery, needing more than 3 hrs. time for shopping. My PCP wrote orders for this. Insurance agreed to pay 2nd rental battery. Apria REFUSED & said 'I have to buy a 2nd portable battery'; That's unlawful! My Ins. Co. called Apria; the Mgr. {TIM} was supposed to call & talk to me. He did NOT!
When I then called, my call was answered by a recording. I was told "Don't call unless you need an order". Hung up! In the mail 2-3 days later, I was sent "Nebulizer parts" {they'd been opened from manufacturer's packages, handled, then put in a 'zip-lock' baggie and mailed to me}: HANDLED BY ???; NOT sealed for proper sanitary and health issues! When I needed to get a new 'set-up' out to use during the night 4 days ago, I could NOT find parts to fit together for a nebulizer need {parts were in different baggies, with no instructions! And ONLY THREE of the total parts FIT TOGETHER so I could do a NEEDED TREATMENT!}. 1 hour it took me!
When I finally put the parts together and began to use the nebulizer, my oxygen level was 72%! It's supposed to be AT LEAST 88% when idle & 95%+ when active! I've needed to use oxygen since 2016! NEVER have I EVER been sold parts that were NOT SEALED in manufacturer's bags with paper instructions! My Ins. Agent is trying to locate me a HEALTH CARE provider. But I'm running out of CLEAN SANITARY Nebulizer equipment! I have NOTHING GOOD to say about the treatment I'm having to put up with! I have no purchase or photo proof. My UHC ins. pays. And my personal helper is already working on getting me a REAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDER for my oxygen needs!

My experience with the Houston branches of Apria over the years for my CPAP supplies has been deplorable. My most recent altercation has been with attempting to get a new CPAP. Over the course of 42 days, I have spent over 10 hours on the phone, much of which was on hold. I have been spoken to unprofessionally by ** multiple times, and she yelled at me on our last call. My insurance company has even been on the phone with me when I've talked to Apria, but made no difference. I tried 3 times to escalate to a manager, who did not return my calls. When I finally did get to speak with the manager, **, he also spoke over me and raised his voice.
Apria's business plan is to rent customers CPAPS for some months and then convert to a purchase. You cannot buy a CPAP through insurance with Apria. They do not come out and state this, though. They blame this on the insurance company. In my case, my insurance does cover the outright purchase of a CPAP. After much back-and-forth, where I declined to sign any agreement because it looked like a rental agreement, Apria just shipped a machine to my home. When I called to ask how and why this happened, I was told that if I don't want it, I can return it to the 9400 Kirby location.
I refused to spend more of my time and gas money to return an item I did not order, which is when ** yelled at me. They said they would have someone come pick the machine up. But I won't believe that until I see it. They also said they will not bill my insurance.... Anyone want to take the over / under on that? Please do not go through Apria for any durable medical equipment. Save yourself significant time and frustration by requesting your insurance company to provide you with a different vendor.

My insurance company only uses Apria and Apria required information from a doctor from 9 years ago. It took me 5 months to get equipment (not due to backorder). No one called me to go over the Sales, Service and Rental Agreement. The document they sent me is on invoice paper with lines running through it and exceptionally difficult to read. Do they want customers to just sign without understanding their commitment? They are impossible to get in touch with and do not leave messages or return calls. The only positive so far is that getting someone on the phone to assist with equipment set up is easy, but customer service forget about it. Reading previous reviews, I am concerned about what is to come regarding billing. I refuse to sign an agreement that I can hardly read.

Apria is a dishonest company that fraudulently charges people without running their insurance claims, and then doesn't refund the money they stole. My insurance company verified I owed them nothing but still got charged and they won't make it right.

I've reached out to Apria Health Care for 2 days. I told them my CPAP machine wasn't working right. The first day I got a snotty girl that said we can change the settings. I told her it was broken. I told her it was operating poorly. I called again. Finally a respiratory therapist tried to call. I didn't have my phone by me. I tried to call back and he told the receptionist my voice mail was full. I tried again. She said he had called me back but it wasn't on my call list. They don't seem to care. I offered to drive the machine to them to have it fixed, no answer. My Drs office even called them in Hudson. This machine is life or death for me and they are messing around. Run from this company they do not care. My next step is call my insurance company.

I have been getting calls once a week from Apria since I received my CPAP machine. They never leave voicemails. I answered today and was told I have a $150 bill. I said, "yes, I do however when I spoke last to you guys I was given the option of billing to my Kaiser account or being sent an invoice." I asked it got billed to my Kaiser account. I got my machine 2 or 3 weeks ago. I told the rep that I was given those two choices and that I opted for it being billed. I was then pressured and essentially told I needed to pay my bill now.
Luckily I had enough money but there was a reason I chose having it billed to my Kaiser - why even give that option if it really isn’t an option apparently? Not happy that I was pressured to give my personal card information over the phone and that when I told them to bill it to me I was told no and asked again if I would pay debit or credit. This is not a good first impression for my experience with apria, and now I’m wishing I didn’t have to go thru them for my cpap equipment.
In addition due to the cpap machine shortage I was given a ResMed 10, however both my parents have cpap as well and managed to both get resmed 11, which is the newer model and has Bluetooth capability whereas the 10 has an SD card. I was not given a choice which machine I would get; I was told I would be given whichever was available first. I would’ve rather waited for the newer model, as I like the aspect of being able to connect to the phone app resmed has.

Worst company on every level imaginable. DON'T EVER USE!!!!
1) Takes forever to get through to the local branch. Forced into voicemail without option to wait.
2) Have to call back multiple times to resolve anything.
3) Always "Not my job" and be transfer to many different people.
4) After waiting a year for a CPAP they sent the wrong one and after hours of discussions, was told they made a new internal policy that they can send whatever they want. Told them to take the machine back, I refuse to use it. Finally they sent what was ordered.
5) After telling them the size mask I wanted, they still shipped the wrong one. Had to go through another return and replacement after talking to four people and hours of calls.
6) Can't create and account on their website unless you know your full account number (which is difficult to get) and a validation code. I called them to get the account number and was given 3 letters and 3 numbers. WRONG. See next interaction.
7) Called back telling them I cannot set up the account. 1st person couldn't help "Not my job". Second person in billing was terrible.
a) She would only work off a script instead of listening to the issue and trying to resolve it.
b) She wouldn't stop reading or take a breath causing problems.
c) She rattled off some number and kept going. I finally had to talk over her and keep talking over her until she stopped talking and tell her that at the beginning of the conversation she gave a bunch of numbers. It was four digits followed by three digits and three numbers. Turns out the first person who gave me my account number didn't include the first four digits.
d) My bill was not yet due for another two weeks. She behaved as a debt collector who was skip tracing someone who was 90+ days due. Trying to get me to commit to paying the wrong amount, per my insurance company right then and there. This was the second time that when I initiated a call I was treated like I was a criminal.

I was prescribed a Sleep CPAP machine by the Yale Healthcare Network's sleep lab. The machine arrived to my home, and then was recalled 5 days later. I never used the product, and sent it back. 4 months later their exec team at Apria decided to bill me anyway. 25 customer care calls later, I still haven't gotten a straight answer about why they decided to charge me. This is a dishonest company.

My doctor ordered a CPAP machine for me. A ResMed Airsense 11 (AS11) model. I was called by Apria customer service and we went over requirements. I was sent an agreement with each line item referencing my order for an AS11. I waited patiently for almost 3-months - no problem, I had been warned all CPAPs were in short supply. It arrived June 30. I opened the box to see that they had sent me an AS10 the older version of what had been ordered. I immediately called Apria and said I had been sent the wrong model.
After a very circuitous conversation, I was bumped up to a supervisor. Who proceeded to tell me the exact same thing - that I cannot return the item in favor of the one actually ordered. I said OK, I'll just return it period - cancel the order. To be told I could not do that either. I was not given a specific reason why this was so. The call ended, leaving me very frustrated. I reached out to my doctor to inquire as to what she had actually put on the referral. She had specified **AS11 preferable, please discuss with patient** - they did not discuss alternatives with me.
My doctor kindly reached out to their rep, who said I had called several times (a lie - implying I was a bother - I dialed their number and spoke to one person then a supervisor - all part of ONE call) and it had been explained to me that they could not swap out one model for another. NOT what I wanted - at this point, I just want to return the unused product to them and call it quits. So, today I made a second call.
I went around with one rep, who was too busy to listen to me (her child in the background was bothering her) and said she could transfer me to a supervisor, but they wouldn't help either. She was right - after another frustrating circuitous conversation, she said I might get help from corporate customer satisfaction - and gave me their number. What she actually gave me was the regular Apria phone number. Navigating to the customer satisfaction department it went directly to VM, but I have to have a name and extension number to leave a message - neither of which I have.
So, in summary, I have a signed agreement with Apria Healthcare for them to provide me an AS 11. They are unable to provide that equipment, and without any consultation with me, sent me an alternative - and now refuse to accept the alternative's return - and expect me to make payment of nearly $500 towards the equipment. I am not going to do so. I have the equipment still in its barely opened original packaging - happy to give it back to them - not going to pay for what I didn't order.

This company is the worst I have ever dealt with. Ever since using them, I have attempted to gain transparency into their billing amounts, and they refuse to cooperate with this transparency. I had ordered supplies from them two years ago and paid for the supplies at that time. They later sent me a bill almost two years later stating I owed them more money, but refused to provide an explanation or detail. On a call to find out more, the customer service rep hung up on me as I asked questions trying to obtain clarification and the next week I received a letter from a collection agency. Will never do business with this company again and would caution anyone else from using them.

I have a B-Pap. Haven't purchased any supplies since fall 2021 as I had left overs from my Philips machine that was returned. They take random odd amounts out of my account each month. I call each month asking why the flux in amount. They tell me it's my deductible for machine rental. Yet, the amount keeps going up each month. December $72.72, January $80.37, February $138.??, March 153.??. WHY the flux?! If it is for machine usage only and not supplies, the amount should be consistent.
When I ask the question, the rep talks over me, doesn't listen, tells me to call my insurance. When I "calmy state", I'm getting frustrated. {click} They have hung up on me twice so far. I am now on hold for the third time. I called asking specifically for a manager. We shall see what they do. BTW, I told them in February, I wanted them to stop taking funds out of my account. I wanted to withdraw from autopay. They continue to pull the funds. I will likely have to turn off the card. This company is TERRIBLE to work with. Customer service is obnoxious.

Horrible. I give instructions do not ship my supplies without authorization from my PCP. This causes a burden on my part because I’m getting billed because my insurance rejects the claim no authorization was received. I have insurance coverage but since Apria does not get this authorization it takes me two months to resolved this issue in order for my insurance to pay the claim.

My mother in law passed on March 21, 2022. Shortly thereafter I began contacting Apria about the remaining eight oxygen tanks she didn't use. As of today, they have not picked up the tanks. They give me time windows that are not honored, then they make up excuses or simply make up stories that they went and no one was there. Very poor customer service.

The Apria Healthcare Billing System is archaic and complete rubbish. The majority of users typically use FSA Accounts or other systems for reimbursements and these all require detailed receipts. This company just sends you a useless statement without the details. Every single time I call in I was told I will have it in the mail within a week or so. Finally they caught up to the 21st century and can email you the information. Sadly I still have to ask for this information which should be easy to pull out and send to me without having to ask. Normal people see receipts from every other store they buy things from. This company is stuck back in the dark ages of billing. So sad they cannot hire a competent CFO.

In 2021 I had a ppo for Cpap and in Jan 2022 it changed to HPN. I called January 3 to let them know and they said OK. After three months later I got a notification last week that Apria does not take my insurance three months so now they asked that I sent back April 1 my CPAP machine it at the supplies. I immediately contacted my primary care doctor and he asked me to ask Apria if they could extend my breathing machine because now with my primary they have to start a new sleep study before getting a new machine which could be six weeks.
I called Apria, they serve beer $107 but I can’t afford that. What I’ve upset about is that it took three months for the stamp to tell me that they don’t accept HPS. Know I’m responsible so I’ll go without a breathing machine until the health plan of Nevada goes through the process schedule he has to sleep study decide if I need to see Pat etc. etc. Sucks, in the meantime Apria is the worst company ever and never do business with them again. Thanks for taking three months to tell me.

I received my referral for a wheelchair March 1st. I called Apria to check on the status and they did not receive it as of march 4th. It was resubmitted. Apria gave me so many excuses why they could not fill the order from needing an updated referral to show needing leg rests to weight change to never receiving SEVERAL faxes and still awaiting signed docs from doctor. Meanwhile my doctor's office is furious because they have signed and faxed several over and Apria was lying to me saying it was the dr office they were waiting on.
When I mentioned I was going to have someone drive me up to dr office to get p.w myself Wallah! It appeared. Then nothing for another week. I called again today to have them say I had a bill from last year sent to collections that needs to be paid before they will schedule delivery for the wheelchair. Today is 3/25/22. I did not know of this bill and now they bring it up. They had 25 days to have me settle it, which is not paid to them but the collections agency.
I asked how long once the bill is paid before I can schedule the much needed wheelchair. No Idea because it all depends on how quickly they get confirmation from agency and their system is updated. NO THANKS. it took you 25 days to send a fax/ receive one. I don't think they are capable of processing anything but ** and aggravation from the patient who is in dire need of a wheelchair. I called Florida Blue and they have had complaints as well. Do not use them unless you want a hell of a lot of aggravation.Ppoor service all around!!!

I called in to update our credit card information on file for hospital bed rental March 21, 2022 8:50 pm. This review is ONLY for the agent I spoke with and I'm hoping that the call was recorded for their Customer Service Quality Review. One would normally expect to be treated with courtesy, politeness, or some patience when calling Customer Service but the agent I spoke with seemed to have forgotten all these traits that are needed especially in her line of work and with the nature of their business being about people with needs and challenges medically. She raised her voice the first minute we were talking when I did not clearly understand her question about my credit card. And I had to end our conversation even though I still have orders and services to request because for the whole duration of our conversation she was really sounding unhappy like I was bothering her.

Apria Healthcare has been responsible for my DME for several years and I have had many different issues with them as others have mentioned (mostly billing issues, rude customer service, long wait and hold times). The issue that put me over the top was a collections debt issued for a claim 4 years ago that was a mis-billed issue that I had previously had to deal with them on. This was an issue that was their fault and they had previously agreed to fix! Now I have to deal with the debt collections agency. I will no longer use Apria Healthcare.

After 22 years of use and resupply I was denied resupply until I completed a new sleep study and received a physician's order-I was dismayed.

Do not use them! My medical provider referred me to this company for a cpap machine. This has by far been one of my most frustrating and disappointing patient interaction that I have ever endured. I had to jump through so many hoops to get the machine, apparently a very common practice. To have them not guarantee the machine, to continue to send masks that didn't work to only get a huge bill from them after my deductible was met. I was told by my provider that they had no right to bill me. It wasn't a $50 bill. It was several hundred dollars. After an exorbitant amount of emails exchanged with them, I reached out to my provider who was able to get the issue resolved. It only took 11 months!

Very bad experience. Received CPap machine through this provider. After I received my device, I received 12 + calls from Apria, to set up my credit card payment (which had been completed at the onset). I returned the calls 8 times, numerous times, with long wait times before they finally straightened their records. It took a threat of leaving their service.
Later, I noticed an excessive bill and called again. They realized they had overcharged and adjusted the bill. 2 weeks ago (December 2021), I noticed another excessive bill on my credit card. Apria said the insurance refused (in fact, they did not. Apria's mistake). No proactive call to me to allow me to clear it with insurance company. I decided to return the equipment and go with a diff provider. They are making the return difficult, insisting that I be at home for the pick up to sign docs, requiring me to take the day off. They have called me 6 times since my request to cancel service, to set up a pick up date, which has already been determined. This is very frustrating. Apria must train their agents at the same school Frontier uses. Don't use this provider

My father had COPD and had leased oxygen equipment and tanks from Apria Healthcare. He passed in April of this year at 79, and my mother paid two final bills. The last because they claimed they were never paid. In October Apria Healthcare sent her a check in my father's name in the amount of $26.40, knowing he was deceased, because she had in fact overpaid. She called them to have them send a check in her name because she was unable to do anything with a check in his. They said the needed a copy of the death certificate emailed to PPMC@APRIA.COM, and said to reference the check #, state her relationship to the deceased and provide her mailing address. I did this for her because she is technologically illiterate.
After a couple weeks, when she never received the check, she called and got the run around. They claimed they never received the email. I had owned a small website development and hosting company for 18 years. I know that, when you send an email to an email address that does not exist, the mail server bounces the email back to you. This is how I know it was received. Whomever she talked to said that they didn't have to send her a check because the account was not in her name. She went to the local Apria Healthcare office and got the same treatment.
I filed a BBB complaint and their response was that she refused to send the copy of the death certificate, which is a lie. They received the email with the attached death certificate, they just want to keep $26.40 from the widow of a former customer. It's sick! IMO, people need to be think carefully about dealing with Apria Healthcare. They love to game play. While looking on the Internet for similar complaints, I found this from a law firm that details some of the biggest issues with Apria Healthcare, including billing: **. Consumer, Beware.

Update - called them to come pick up their equipment. They can give me a day but not a time. This business does not care about people at all. Apparently I'm supposed to take a whole day off work so I can sit around and wait for them to come get their stuff. Seriously avoid this place at all cost. If the hospital wants to use them as was the case with us, ask for a different provider!
They were supposed to deliver an oxygen tank to the hospital for my grandmother. It was supposed to be there at or before 4 pm. She could not be discharged until it got there. I called at 4:30 pm. It's on its way. Oxygen did not arrive until 5:30. And they sent a shipment to my house which I told them could not be done until I got back from the hospital. So, I pulled up and the truck was blocking the drive. I had to leave my grandmother in the car while dealing with set up. Then I had to have her walk across the neighbor's yard and our drive so I could get her in house.

Was told by the Healthcare rep what our insurance would pay, what our part would be, payment plan, etc. None of what we were told has been accurate. Now we are being billed hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a machine I could have bought online for 1/3 of the price. Apria has billed my credit card for hundreds of dollars of “non allowed” charges and has never sent me an invoice or even an email. When I called and asked “why” I was told that when you sign up for autopay, they don’t send invoices. Apria has free reign to bill my credit card for whatever they want and not even inform me. I’ve struggled with customer service just trying to get them to unenroll me in autopay. It’s been a nightmare. Do not use them! You’re better off ordering your equipment directly from the manufacturer.

Wish I could give no stars!!! This is the worst organization I have worked on. After leaving the army they tried to automatically bill my card without notifying me that my insurance was no longer covering the service. Then when I got the bill I immediately called to cancel service. They told me they would be able to pick it up 6 days later, then still trying to charge me the whole month. How do you charge someone a whole month for “possession of equipment” that I didn’t have the whole month? Not even half the month? How do you charge me for possession of equipment without notifying me that I was now responsible for payment and not covered by insurance? DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY! They play with your money and do not take care of patient nor veteran.

This is a bogus crooked site. I started receiving emails about my requesting transfer of my health care to Apria and a link to complete the paperwork. I have VA and no way was this legit. I went to their website to check on them. It looks professional. I called their multiple numbers for a rep and all it does is give constant recorded ads and menus to other services that continues the same process. Nobody ever answers the phone. I complained to the VA security and was told, "Sorry, they are outside our network. We can't do anything." My final solution was to forward their emails automatically to my trash folder.

This company not only is only out to get money but their compassion level for their patients is awful if there even is one! My dad has stage 4 COPD and thought after 9 months his CPAP was his. When the guy came to get it he told my dad no it was on the list for pick up. My dad only had 28% lung function by the way but he gave it to them and called them and they said, "No sir. After 10 months it’s yours" which means September 7th it would of been his meaning yes the last payment was already made but since he called to have his big oxygen machine picked up before the 7th they were taking it! When the only reason we were returning the stuff was because my dad has just now been put on hospice and his hospice provides it now so instead of just letting him have it since the payment was already made they stiffed him on it and he won’t get any of the money back! And anybody on disability knows it’s not much to get by.
Second off the guy picking up didn’t have a mask on so my dad asked him to put one on and he told my dad they aren’t required to wear one! They are picking up stuff from people's TERMINALLY ILL family members and we don’t know what y’all have or who you have been around! It doesn’t hurt to put the mask on for 5 minutes!

It is confusing to explain but I will try. I have had home oxygen concentrator since Dec. Every month since then my statement said I owed $0!! According to EOBs then it was denied. I called Apria a couple times. I had to explain 3 times before the girl knew to investigate deeper. She was giving me a canned answer at first. She finally found out that they were waiting on a RX although they got one in Dec. On July statement still nothing so I asked my insurance to look into it. After a week my EOBs through June were corrected and no longer denied. Yesterday I got a new Apria statement. They charged me correctly for Jan and Feb but no charge for March April May June. Then they charged me full cost for July although my EOB for July said procedure denied.
I just want to get it caught up. I know I owe 185 per month from Jan to Oct when I go on medicare and when my coverage changes. I have discussed this with someone from my insurance who I know personally (but she cannot do my account because of it). She said Apria is often doing the billing wrong so it gets denied by insurance. Many many many times. She said now she understands why other ins. clients come to her with year of screwed up billing. I want to switch DME companies. ASAP but I'd feel better knowing I am nearly caught up. I can't imagine how many people pay not knowing better and are ripped off. BTW. I have had excellent service from the local guys who deliver and set up and repair.

If you want to keep your sanity, do not use Apria. This company is a preferred provider for durable medical equipment through my insurance. My husband’s doctor ordered a hospital bed on July 26. As of August 5th and numerous phone calls, Apria is still “processing” the order and unable to say when a hospital bed and air mattress can be delivered. The customer service representatives say the company is very busy as an explanation. When I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager, I was told they do not have one and I would have to wait until I’m notified! After all of this, I checked here for reviews and found a lot of negative reviews and same on Yelp. After reading the negative reviews I cancelled the order.

They have the worst accounting department. For 4 months now I have been trying to get my bill straightened out. I started in January, called, waited over 20 min on hold (is not unusual for them), spoke to a nice person who looked at everything. Assured me I don't have a past due balance and the account is current. February next statement past due balance again, back on the phone again. This person digs deeper and discovers I have 2 accounts and my payments are going to the wrong account. I am assured a this will be taken care of.
March, guess what? Another bill with past due balance and keep paying. This is very stressing. On the phone, hold times etc. I am told the payments from the account not being used were not transferred to the current account. We go through things meticulously, to make sure I am sending to the current account etc. Again, she can see on her end that I am current with no past due. I am also told that a supervisor has to move the payments over to the current account and it will be taken care of. A little information: I have a recurring rental payment of $11. and change for CPAP rental. So the past due bills have been for @$23. However, I keep paying and Apria's office keeps telling me I am current.
Yesterday I received my April statement. Wow, WAS I SURPRISED $93 PAST DUE. THERE IS NO INDICATION ON THE STATEMENT HOW WE ARRIVED AT THAT AMOUNT. YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW EXCITED I AM!!! I have been paying through my online bank Bill pay so I have a record of all the payments. Today I called again, just like the 3 previous months. After an extended time on hold finally got a person. She was starting to look into it, I was placed on hold then disconnected. I call back, wait another 20+ minutes on hold to speak to a person, I ask to speak to a supervisor.
After another 5 min on hold I am told, I can continue to hold or the supervisor will call me back. I chose the call back. After 4 hours pass I decide to call back again. Again 20+ minutes on hold, I get a person and just as I start to tell the story we get disconnected. I am glad I did not choose to hold for the supervisor as I am 6 1/2 hours now with no call back.

Stay away from this corrupt company. My husband's doctor gave him a prescription on 12/28/20 for a wheelchair purchase due to some health issues he has. We contacted our insurance company on 12/31/20 to inquire if they would pay for the purchase of a wheelchair instead of a rental since we had our yearly deductible met and were told that Yes they would if we were able to pick up the equipment before the end of the day. Adding that the equipment would be covered at 100%. We contacted Apria healthcare (since they are a participating provider with our insurance company) and explained our situation. They assured us that they could complete the paperwork while waiting for us to arrive, so we headed to their location to finalize the sale. We arrived with 10 min to spare before they closed and just as stated they had the wheelchair and paperwork ready. We signed for the PURCHASE and left the business. However, their service went down from there.
They have now billed our insurance for the RENTAL of the equipment instead leaving us responsible for 100% of the equipment to meet the deductible for the new year. I call Apria and they stated that our insurance would only pay for rentals up to the purchase price. So I contacted our insurance company and they stated that they do pay for purchases and that Apria could simply submit a corrected claim. Apria however has refused to do so, which makes no sense since the amount paid to them is exactly the same with purchase vs rental, the only difference in this case is who has to pay the bill - our insurance company vs us.
Since Apria refused to change their billing we requested they pick up the chair as we are refusing to pay for a rental when we specifically requested for and were told the transaction would be a purchase. They have not picked up the chair, they will submit a new corrected claim and they continue to bill us. We refuse to pay and have filed a complaint with our insurance company. We plan to file a complaint with the BBB or even a law suit in small claims court if necessary due to their fraudulent billing practices. They lied to us and now are refusing to correct the issue.

Apria allows you to order 3-months of CPAP supplies even though they can bill the insurance only one month at a time. Because of this convenience, I've dealt with this company for years (~15). I never will again. With my insurance coming to an end (I was starting Medicare), I made sure to place the last order to be covered under that policy somewhat greater than 3-months in advance of the expiration date. I made sure to tell the salesperson to send me only 2-months supply if they could not bill the insurance before the end of that month (establishing the end of the 3-month cycle to occur before my policy ended). I was told there would be no problem billing before the end of the month and was sent the usual 3-month supply.
When I received my EOB for that first month, I found they did NOT bill until after the end of the month, which meant they would bill the insurance for the 3rd month's supplies after the policy was no longer in effect. So I called to return the 3rd month of supplies. But I was told it was past their 30-day period to do so (of course it took that long due to insurance processing time!). I've called every month (about 9-months now) to get this rectified. Every time I called, I had to go through the whole story, then get placed on a long hold, repeat the whole story again to a second person, then get placed on another long hold only to repeat everything a third time! Finally, last month I was told they would not bill me if the insurance didn't pay. But they billed me!
I made my last call just now and was told that I was advised the first time I called to return one month of supplies! SOMEONE ENTERED A LIE IN THEIR RECORDS! I was angry but polite (no swearing, no name calling, etc.) and asserted that I should not be charged. THEY HUNG UP ON ME! Such a huge company is willing to give up my business for the rest of my life for $31.02. The real problem is that the sales people don't know what the billing people do and these kind of screw-ups can easily take place. It's frustrating if you need to call customer service and be put on so many long holds (and even MUZAK would be better than hearing their 20-second sales recording over and over and over and ...). I would give this review a zero (or even a negative number) if it were possible.

Updated on 04/22/2021: I thought I had reached a positive resolution with this company regarding oxygen supply and delivery services. I was mistaken, leaving me with no solution other than to post yet another complaint. Apria Healthcare Arizona branch is supposed to be a home oxygen delivery business, catering to hospice and in-home health care client base. My earlier complaint about the company involved unreliable delivery and supply. I reached an agreement with a person in Logistics at their Peoria office to provide a specific number of e-tanks each month and to get on a bi-monthly delivery schedule. I would have done better talking to a wall.
I'm back where I was with a meager 6 e-tanks delivered each month (that won't last two weeks) and have already started depleting my oxygen tank inventory that is needed for emergencies. The 2nd delivery that I was promised last month was never scheduled. I've called the office to complain and was assured someone in Logistics would respond. I'm still waiting and have 14 empty e-tanks waiting for pick up. If and when they ever decide to show up, I have no doubt they'll only switch out 6 and leave the other empties as before. I do not understand why the company is making this so difficult.
Original Review: Apria Healthcare Arizona branch is supposed to be a home oxygen delivery business, catering to hospice and in-home health care client base. In the age of COVID, they refuse to provide home delivery to patients, now ration e-tanks, and request that someone bring the empty tanks to their Peoria facility to exchange. That's great for them, but bad for the caregiver or patient with lifting and mobility issues, or an unreliable vehicle. Their competitors continue to offer full service home delivery and pick-up, so why won't they? I'm down to 6 full e-tanks. Not enough to get my husband through the month of March nor 24 hours in a power outage scenario. I've addressed this issue with them and got zip for a response from the Peoria, Arizona office.

What a terrible experience with this company. In the fall of 2017 they sold me a CPAP machine that never worked correctly and they were no help getting it fixed or replaced. I ended up paying off the $45 a month payment schedule just to end my relationship, or so I thought. I called them in June of 2018 to pay them off and they agreed that was my last payment, only to get another bill the following month. I called them again in July and paid that bill with them agreeing that was my last payment, only to get another bill in Aug 2018. I called them again and I paid them and they told me that my account was now completely paid in full. So I didn't hear from them again, until a year and a half later in March of 2020.
In March of 2020 I get another bill and a phone call telling me I still owed them a $49 balance. I told them that back in Aug. of 2018 their customer service department had confirmed with me that my account was paid off and that I wasn't going to pay them another dime. Then in Oct 2020 I get a call from a collection agency for the $49 that I supposedly owed Apria, again I explained myself and told them I was not paying any more money. And now in Nov. 2020 I received a letter from a collection agency that I owe Apria $49. At this point I'm considering paying it, but I fear I that I'm caught in some broken billing cycle and will only continue to receive bills and calls from collection agencies. Apria has either no idea what they are doing or they just don't care. I'm my opinion, it's quite a bit of both. I highly do not recommend.

If I could I would return the equipment and tell Apria where to put it but since I have used it, as I should I cannot. RUN!!! RUN as far and as fast as you can AWAY from APRIA!!!! There are other places to get your equipment for a fraction of the cost!!! (I could buy directly from the manufacturer for less than 1/2 of what Apria has charged and a fraction of the headaches!!!)

Cigna decided it was better for me to get a C-Pap ("A"-pap?) from Centrix Care rather than get the follow-up sleep study recommended by my unattended in-home one, and I have been totally cooperative and compliant with that decision. My sleep study was in April and it's now October and I still don't have the equipment. Apparently Centrix sent the order to Apria and they are utterly incompetent. I called into Centrix with them on Friday (today is Monday) and spent 25 mins on the phone, only to discover that they claim it was sent out that very morning, and that I'd have to call in today for the tracking number. I just spent 10 minutes trying to get that from them, and now another 12 minutes on the phone again with Centrix, who finally just agreed to FIRE THEIR **!!!!

In 2016 I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and put on a CPAP machine. There are various components of the CPAP that must be changed frequently for cleanliness and functionality. I was referred to Apria Healthcare for these supplies. I wish now that I'd never even heard of Apria. They are, by far, the worst company I've ever dealt with. They will send you your supplies, but at least 50% of the time, they send the wrong size or piece of equipment. You will receive bills for years (like me) for supplies that they refuse to submit claims for to your insurance company. My company contacted them on my behalf several times indicating that my durable medical supplies were 100% covered and they needed to submit a claim to the insurance company. Guess what? They still refused to submit the claims and then send me to collections for non-payment.
After being sent to collections, my company finally got them to submit claims to insurance, but they only submitted a portion and continue to bill me over and over and over. I've still got my company (even though I'm not with them anymore) fighting with them to actually submit the claims as they should. I fear I will deal with this horrible company forever because they are completely unable to do their jobs properly. I am now ordering my CPAP supplies out of my own pocket online so I don't have to deal with Apria anymore. Do yourself a huge favor...if you are recommended Apria, run in the opposite direction.

BUYER BEWARE! This company will trick you into getting a CPAP with them and then claim they didn't receive proper documentation from your doctor (even though your doctor repeatedly sends everything they ask for), and then will bill your credit card HUNDREDS of dollars a month without even telling you, and because they have an arbitration clause you can't even hire a lawyer and take them to court.

My wife in 2106 needed a CPAP machine and was referred to Apria. That was been the worst healthcare nightmare of our lives. We wanted to just purchase but they required us to rent for a year. The billing went on and on. My insurance company claimed they would not submit the proper information for them to pay. Finally in early 2018 after hours and hours on phone call with people who had absolutely no authority to do anything but parrot canned responses, we thought we had this resolved. They issued us a refund and we thought the nightmare was over.
However later in the year they began billing again. Turned us over to a collections agency. Again after hours and hours dealing with them and emails going back and forth they issues another refund. Again we thought the nightmare was over. Boy were we wrong. Two years later (now 4 years after getting the machine) in July and August of 2020 we began to receive bills again. They had again turned us over to a collection agency. More calls to the so called Apria customer service line (no one there has any authority at all to do anything).
I finally paid them $40 they wanted and asked them to send a written document that our account was paid, that they would pull us out of collections and they would never bill us again. THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME THAT!!!! All she said was I can sent you a billing statement. If you have any choice of where to go for a CPAP machine run from Apria. This has been the worst healthcare nightmare of my life. By 1000's of percentages. A terrible company. It doesn't get much worse.

Several days ago I posted a poor review of Apria due to my lack of customer support and contact with any representative in obtaining oxygen refill for my father. Since my posting, I have received 2 responses from Apria; 1 was from the local Concord office that provides the oxygen refill and 1 from "Darlene" in corporate. My father's needs for oxygen refills were above satisfactory resolution and I was provided a direct number in the event I encounter this issue again. I have not given a 5 star review as of yet and only rate a 4 as I want to be assured that I will not have an issue with Apria again.

This company has a dozen phone numbers, none get you to who can help you. I leave voice mail messages to every dept I am sent to but they NEVER return your call. Frustrating since I am trying to get oxygen refills for my elderly father. It takes HOURS EVERY SINGLE MONTH to finally get someone to help and the help is minimal at best. For years I have heard from customers who greatly despise Apria but we are forced to use their services because of our medical plans. If you can afford to use another company or are able to convince your health care provider to change, DO NOT USE APRIA!!!

I got a CPAP from them. I told them I didn't want to lease it. They showed me the Sales/lease in the title of the paperwork and assured me this was a sale. I paid the purchase price for the unit, and they kept billing me for lease payments. When I told the billing department it was not a lease they claimed it was because of the lease in the sales/lease heading. You need a lawyer to read the agreement. I believe they are dishonest in their billing practices. Then I told them I did not want them downloading my sleep records. Even after assuring me they wouldn't, they continued to download my records. A billing clerk even tried to coach me on my sleeping habits. She was not a medical professional, but gave me advice that I found to be inappropriate for a billing clerk, and a violation of my HIPPA rights.
They are a slimy, dishonest company, in my opinion. I recommend you never do business with this horrible company. Oh, by the way, the price they charged was double what I could have bought it for on Amazon! The same unit and supplies. Another reason I believe they are dishonest. Overcharging insurance and me! And their telemarketing never stopped even when I asked them to. I had to block their numbers to get the incessant calls to stop.

Final result is I have to pay more than the cost of machine for lease after having returned equipment. The company response was it is my responsibility to ensure my insurance covers items.

They won’t allow outright purchases of this CPAP. The company and other healthcare agencies force you to obtain a prescription to obtain a machine. In order to obtain a prescription you must pay thousands to have a sleep study every 2 years.

They bill my insurance over $800.00 a month for a Sleep Apnea machine I bought brand new online for $426.00 complete and I’m able to use the same free App I was using before. I returned my machine after having to sign a health waiver and wait weeks before I finally called to find out they had received the paperwork. I returned the machine the same day.
My insurance went over the invoice with them line by line on a three hour phone call and I was told they owe me money. I’m retired on a fixed income and it took almost half of my stimulus money to pay a bill I do not owe. This place needs to be shut down as nobody should be forced to deal with them. Now I’m on my own for all my supplies as I will not let them rob me again. Also keep in mind that all Cpap supplies of the same maker are available online for a fraction of what they charge.

My experience with Apria was a total nightmare. The biggest culprits being the company's total inability to give information about any of their billing practices and what appears to be double billing in their agreement with my insurance and me personally. It was never explained to me that I was in a rental to lease agreement through Apria and my insurance. When I remitted payment direct to Apria I was told that this was the end of the process and I owned the unit. We kept seeing charges on my insurance and we had to follow up to find what this was for, it took us multiple hours with my own insurance agent on getting frustrated with Apria, their agents don't understand the agreement or the costs we are contracted to pay. Our own agent from our insurance was trying to get them explain their prices and they didn't honor the agreement through my insurance.
Every attempt to reach an Apria agent was met with hostility or an unwillingness to listen to our questions and concerns. We were assured we would receive calls back from supervisors or billing agents. Never did and it was an endless game of phone tree with different numbers being handed out. We got bounced around and tried to get a straight answer about if we were to just return the item but their return department and billing apparently can't see the same information and weren't willing to transfer you, they just expect you to call back the billing department yourself. When we raised the issue of financial hardship and loss of insurance they attempted to transfer us to an outside personal loan company, when we were told their own department handles these claims. They simply don't care about customer service and just want to exhort money from you, don't ever use this shady company.

Never sure if they really understand me, but when the bill comes I know they don't understand me because the bill is ALWAYS WRONG. I have NEVER received a correct shipment of supplies...EVER (in two years). I call them and tell them, they say...so sorry. I say- don't bill me for the wrong stuff you sent. They say- no worry we won't. Then they do. Then you call them and tell them. They say, sorry- you pay bill now, what credit card number? Then I say, when will you send a call tag for pick up for FEDEX for all the wrong parts? They say - someone call. No one EVER calls. Terrible customer service. Terrible billing department. Idiots working in the warehouse.
AVOID APRIA AT ALL COSTS...or it will cost you...cost you lots of time on hold waiting on a customer service rep that is unable or unwilling to fix your problem that they created. Update to the above post months later - IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. I just spent another 45 minutes on the phone with "Marvin" in the PI. He also could not understand that I did not want to pay for the INCORRECT items that they shipped. Then he got "Mary" on the phone in Bellingham, WA for a conference call. She was also ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. They both had to keep putting me on hold to 'check with a supervisor'. Here's the best part. Marvin offered me a 10% discount to pay the bill off. Then when I told him for the umpteenth time I just want a correct bill without being billed for the wrong filters, he then said - "since this bill is so overdue we might have to send it to collections." You can probably imagine how I responded to that threat. It wasn't pleasant.
Bottom line here folks - AVOID APRIA AT ALL COSTS> AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.? Update to the update even more months later: I have NEVER received a correct itemized bill. There is NO ONE IN THE USA THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR BILL. They've NEVER sent a recall tag for all of the wrong filters they sent, despite 4 different Filipinos telling me they would going on 6 months now. I'm going to start billing Apria for storage of the wrong crap that they sent me. I paid the bill with the 10% discount bribe that "Marvin" in the Philippines offered me, because he said that's how much the filters cost anyway, even though they can't send an itemized bill. So how did he know what they cost without an itemized bill that he can't find? He hilariously threatened to send me to collections for Apria's screw-ups. And guess what I just got in the mail? A bill for the 10% discount that "Marvin" took off my bill! Can you freaking believe this crap?

My case was escalated up to their level 2 resolution team as I argued that my insurance policy change was none of their concern since I had paid for everything according to the financial agreement to pay for the equipment while I was still covered by the original insurance policy. I was told by the representative that he was cancelling out the charges, and I will owe them nothing more.

I use them because this is the company my doctor uses, although I have complained to him numerous times. He is probably getting some type of "kick-back" for the business referrals.

I have had in home oxygen with Apria for years. Constantly have to call to clarify bills. If you can get by the outsourced call center, consider yourself lucky. They bill for the unit on one date and the filler/tanks on another. EVERY time I get a bill, it is half blank! My current Apria file folder is over 2 inches thick. I have asked that they bill me once per month at the negotiated price my insurance company pays. Yeah, right! When they want to "schedule" routine maintenance, they leave a message telling when THEY will be there. Only date, no time or time frame. That is what they refer to as "scheduling"? What if I have a dr's appointment and won't be home? You call the number back and get a recording to confirm your appt. Going to be on Medicare soon and can't wait to dump them! I can't believe they are still in business. Why isn't our elected officials doing anything about their practices. Make your doctor refer you to another provider!!!!

Due to snoring I did a sleep study and was found to need a cpap unit. My physician set me up with Apria Healthcare. I received the unit quickly, before I even knew the results of the study, but from there it goes downhill. The company began calling/mailing bills within 4 months service. Upon calling my insurance company I found they need to seen a retro authorization form in order to get paid. Simple they said to do and the company should know exactly what they needed.
1 month goes by and more bills so I call the insurance company again. They've not heard from apria. This time they give me a fax and reference number to give to apria. Contact apria and give them this information. Another month passes and I receive a bill again. Same deal, contact insurance company, who hasnt heard from them then apria. Apria gives me some bs about my claim being denies due to noncompliance. Insurance never heard from them so obviously they're lying. Two days after I told them their company can piss off they show up at my door to "reclaim" their unit. Totally incompetent service and even worse customer service.

I rented a breast pump through my insurance provider. It stopped working so I requested a replacement. Apria said it was considered life sustaining equipment so they would send someone to deliver it immediately. That never happened. It took 15+ follow up calls to Apria to get it delivered. Every time I called they told me something different. They kept saying it was on its way but never came, they lost the order once and accidentally cancelled it twice, then they told me it would arrive in the middle of the night (but didn't). When it finally arrived the next day, it was missing parts and didn't work.

Where does one start with a company like Apria? I was referred to Apria by a sleep Apnea specialist in NY. This was all done behind the scenes, as most of healthcare today: You will not know what you are paying for until the day that invoices start rolling-in. My insurance provider was paying for the new device I received. This device retails for a little over $1000 if you just buy it outright. Apria does not initially mention that you are "renting" this device when you get it from them. They are basically charging the insurance AND the patient, and in essence Double billing. Really shady practices all around. How this is legal is beyond me. Stay away from Apria. You're better off buying your own device and supplies on the open market than dealing with these fraudsters.

Today, I was informed that I don't need the home oxygen concentrator. While I dispute that I ever needed it, that is another story. I was told that I had to use Apria because the doctors office initiated service with them. Being on Medicare, I would be tied to them for 5 years. My experience with Apria has been a nightmare. I wasn't allowed any choice in the concentrator. A new concentrator was delivered but it wasn't one that I wanted. The tech placed it 5 ft from my bed and splayed out 50 ft of tubing.
To say that the concentrator was loud and obnoxious would be an understatement. It also has an annoying green light that shines up the wall and onto the ceiling. Think really bright nightlight. I had been promised the quietest concentrator. This one measures at 90 decibels. Between the loud motor and a gasping or sighing noise along with the light, it was impossible to sleep. Solution was to move it to another bedroom utilizing the excessive 50 ft of tubing. I could close the door and shut in the noise. No such luck, I could still hear the concentrator but the light was gone. Additionally, closing the door to the other bedroom meant that the enormous amount of heat generated by the concentrator was trapped in that bedroom. During my time of service with Apria, I had to go to their physical location to get supplies such as nasal cannulas. If I scored 2 cannulas, I was thrilled.
Apria is supposed to physically service the concentrator every 6 months. That didn't happen. Between what Medicare and I paid monthly, I could have purchased the concentrator. Service was non-existent especially since I had to pick-up my own supplies. I actually stopped using the concentrator and asked to repeat the overnight pulse oximetry study. Again, I had to go and pick-up and return the study equipment. That in itself is a story. I was given someone else equipment and paperwork. Apria said it was my fault. I checked in with reception. My information was keyed into the computer and the proper personnel were notified to bring the kit to the front desk. I've learned that the repeat study showed that I didn't need the concentrator. Now, I just have to wait for them to pick it up. Or maybe, I'll be told to return it to them.

I've been using a CPAP for over 10 years. The company I used to get my machines and supplies from unfortunately does not deal with CPAP items any longer. My insurance company suggested I use Apria. What a nightmare they have been the last two years. If I could rate them 0 stars I would. My insurance benefits allow me to receive supplies as often as I would like. I wanted to have my head strap replaced every 3 months, rather than the 6 months suggested by Apria. Apria refused. My insurance company even called Apria to tell them it would be covered, but Apria still refused.
I now need a new machine as mine is over 5 years old and is now malfunctioning. I called my insurance company and walked me through all the steps I'd need to follow to get the new machine. I did everything the insurance company required. My doctor faxed the order to Apria and stated it was urgent since I did not have a replacement machine. The doctor also spoke with an Apria representative prior to placing my order and was given a time frame for the arrival of my new machine.
A week after meeting with my doctor, I called Apria to check on the status of my order as the machine should've been shipped by now. It hadn't even been processed. I was "assured" I would receive a call back later that day or the next to let me know the status of my order. I never received a call, so I called again. This representative said they were waiting on a copy of my sleep study from the doctor. The insurance company didn't require Apria to have that information, but Apria insisted it wouldn't be processed without it.
I called my doctor back and they went through all the documents they sent to Apria and assured me that Apria had everything that was required (the sleep study paperwork was not required for them to have according to the doctor also). The Apria representative on the phone today was rude and did not care in the least about anything I had to say. When I called my doctor's office back today about all the problems, I was told I was the third person to complain to them today about Apria. This is a never ending battle with Apria and once I get this new machine I will find another provider for my supplies. I am done with them!

Horrible Experience. Bottomline the approval and billing practices are just abysmal and if you can avoid Apria as a CPAP supplier under any insurance, you should. Here is my experience. I was 64, 4 months away from my 65th birthday and received my ResMed CPAP from Apria. My insurance, Blue Shield was covering the payments. All good but then my 65th birthday comes and I must switch to Medicare. Over $300 was charged by April to Blue Shield on the equipment but this would not transfer over or be credited. So the system allows for Apria to double dip as the contract starts over with Medicare. Before Medicare takes over, I must fully pay for the equipment to Apria. Also, all of these boxes of equipment are showing from Apria.
Sleep Doctor says they did not order them and Apria says the Sleep Doctor ordered them. Who knows the real truth here but I think it was Apria unneccesarily billing equipment to insurance companies. There are more Sleep Doctor documents required from Medicare which I obtained in late Sept and sent to Apria. Apria says they did not receive them even though there is fax confirmation evidence by Sleep Doctor. So in November, called the Sleep Doctor to resend them and once again there is fax confirmation that Apria received the documents. In the meantime, I am paying full amount to Apria each month of $107.42.
Now, it is Dec 26th. I call to check on the submittal by Apria to Medicare. Still not done and representative says he will credit my account of $537.10. I called today Dec 27th to add my supplemental insurance number and was told I now owe $537.10!!!! And Apria has not received the Sleep Doctor paperwork to submit to Medicare and when it receives them-will take another 30-45 days. Maybe in this coming decade all will be cleared up with Apria but so much time chasing this down.

For my own sanity I’ll keep this short and to the point. We entered into a 12 month agreement with Apria on 9/18. Gave a down payment of $100 and agreed to pay roughly $28 per month (insurance covering the rest) for the term. In January 2019 Apria stopped billing our insurance and began charging our credit card. I made several calls to ask them to Bill our insurance. Each time they said they would, but never did.
In April 2019 Apria became an out of network supplier and continued to bill random amounts to our card. When asked about the charges before Apria could not provide an explanation. In November a final payoff was made to satisfy the balance. The Apria representative confirmed the balance was paid in full. All payment totaling over $1200 out of my pocket. Today I received another bill from Apria only noting ‘Supplies’. After speaking with the billing department the charge was for the humidifier feature within the machine. I have absolutely had it with this company. Based on the amount on this experience and the overwhelming amount of negative reviews I’ve read for Apria I believe a class action lawsuit is in order.

Where to start? I have been dealing with Apria for about 2 years and only because nobody else who could be ordering from them wants to sit on the phone with them anymore. I am a nurse for a home care patient and took it upon myself to do the reordering when the family gave up on the task. The time spent on the phone with them is outrageous, typically the calls last a solid hour. Often I get bounced from office to office, having to repeat the entire sequence including all identifying information. Sometimes I even get bounced from the original number to other numbers only to be sent back to the original number. Often times the calls get dropped outright.
What makes it even more frustrating is that the orders are not sent correctly and/or not at all. I have left my number many times and yet they have only once called me back to deliver a message. There have been times that I waited 4 months for a delivery only to be told that "that was delivered 3 months ago," when of course it was not the case. Just today I called about an important item that was ordered a month ago only to be told it was delivered 2 weeks ago which of course it was not. Overall I found the customer reps pleasant but totally unfamiliar with the equipment and supplies. They have been most unhelpful in discussing the actual respiratory products that the company supplies. All in all I wish my patient would switch to another company.

I rarely write a review but my experience with Apria has been so upsetting and disappointing that I'm sharing my experience. When I looked at these reviews, I felt I must join those who have shared their experiences with Apria. First, my electronic paperwork was lost not once, but twice. The customer service rep could not explain that even though I had received a confirmation email, he did not have my paperwork. That delayed my CPAP. Then when I received it a week later, the wrong mask was included. I called the national service line and a kind, smart rep helped. He reviewed my sleep lab results, confirmed the wrong mask had been sent, and asked the company to expedite the correct mask. Today I called a "Sleep specialist".
First the rep insisted I had used the equipment on 12/12 and 12/13. She kept insisting that "you must have at least tried on the mask as data is showing you used it." I kept explaining that I had not receive the mask until 12/17 and had used the CPAP on 12/17 and 12/18 only. Finally after several minutes, she stated she was using another patient's data. I should have asked for someone else at that point. After giving extensive personal information, she continued to insult me by insisting that she could not interpret the results of the second night with me and that I used the mask incorrectly. She seemed to be timed on the call as she kept trying to end the call. Be aware these folks are not "Sleep specialists." This person appeared to be simply an hourly customer service rep with a prescribed script.
Getting adjusted to a CPAP is not easy. Apria seems only interested in keeping their Medicare contract, making money, and have little interest in truly serving clients. If you have any other choice for your CPAP equipment with your insurer, choose someone other than APria. The company has made a difficult medical situation even more challenging. I don't feel comfortable calling their "sleep specialists" again.

No, the problem was he didn't look up the billing information and let me know what was being billed. He refused to give me anyone else on the phone. I have never had a worse experience with a call center. Our local office is very helpful but I suggest you not do business with Apria because this is my 3rd call to the billing center and I've never had any help. Buyer beware - if your insurance will cover another company - use them!

I just noticed a $126 charge on my credit card from Apria. I called them and they said it was a payment for my CPAP machine and I gave them the ok to charge my card. I did no such thing. Plus I have went back on my insurance statements and they have not charged BCBS-Federal for it. This seems to be a common occurrence with Apria.... Just charge their customers without ever sending a bill or notifying them first. I asked for a detailed bill and what I got was a complete joke. It was a screen print that no one can make heads or tails out of. I have disputed the charge to my credit card since I did not give them the authorization to charge my card for this.

Obtained a legitimate prescription for a specific stationary concentrator. You know, one that I can actually move between rooms myself. Firstly, the people answering the phone (eventually) told me that there was a super long wait for this model and I may never get. Well, guess what, they were talking about the battery powered portable units. Didn’t want that and the model number on the prescription didn’t reflect that either. When I brought that tiny fact to her attention, I got, "Oh we don’t carry that." Now keep in mind that this was a product made by Inogen and I get no fewer that 10 emails a month telling me now is the time to buy respiratory supplies. And guess what, included among there affecting are Inogen products. Bear in mind, I didn’t expect them to pay for the thing. Just order it. My insurance company and I had that pretty much worked out.
Intellectually dishonest as they could order it if they were to put down the script and maybe provide a little customer service. Also, I ordered some connector and hoses and most of the stuff they sent was wrong. Hack, I didn’t even know nothing know what half of it was for. Again, they don’t carry that stuff yet it is from the same company that provide all of the other consumables. But not to worry! They told me that I could keep the mystery stuff. Translation, ====> throw it out yourself. Finally, they show up at my house with a truck hauling nothing but E tanks. I need B and D tanks too. Absolute lousy customer service. They’ve been dishonest with me since cornering me in my hospital room. If you have options, run. Don’t even listen, odds are you’re being lied to. Of course that’s just my opinion.

I have used Apria for years for my CPAP machines and supplies. I used to call my local office and make an appointment to discuss a choice of machines, and was satisfied with their service.They changed this and you now have to call a central number for appointments. Recently I qualified for a new machine through my Medicare Advantage plan and got the necessary paperwork to them. When I called, they wanted me to order my machine right then over the phone and did not give me a choice of which machine or mask I wanted.
I told them I was used to a certain mask and wanted a machine that was not heavy because I sometimes travel. They were most unhelpful and curtly referred me to a website where I would have to pay full price for my machine. It was evident that they had farmed out their customer service, and the 3 people I talked to had a poor command of English. Months later I still have no machine because I wanted an appointment with the local office or to be given a choice of machines. This is a real shame and a good example of what happens when a company gets too large and greedy and no longer places a priority on their customer service!

One can order online at www.apriadirect.com but the search for a specific Apria P/N does not find the item. You are left to guess and wonder if what you are selecting is the right item.

Since getting a walker @ Rome, Ga. location about 18 months ago I've made many calls to get my insurance handled properly. They were advised to file Medicare 1st, BCBS F Plan 2nd. After all my calls a BCBS Rep called with me on line, told them the same thing. After several months I thought all was well. No, it starts all over again. BCBS, once again called with me on the line.They were told again that my insurance would pay, but not until Apria filed properly. They were told that there was no reason I should have to pay if Apria would do their part. I really thought it was handled at this point, but now I have been turned over to a collection agency, because Apria would rather try to force someone on a fixed income to pay for something that someone was too lazy or dumb to handle.

We then were informed: (1) insurance had been filed incorrect, through BCBSTX rather than BCBSOK, (2) incorrect codes had been filed with insurance and were being refiled, (3) Apria would no longer be giving support in our area for machine rentals, but our rent to own was about to meet its agreement. (4) We were told our insurance had denied claims submitted by Apria. (5) Apria sent us a bill, but upon payment they took additional money from my bank without me knowing.
(6) Apria said they would no longer be providing our area with supplies but would set us up with another company. This company was found to be out of network with our insurance. (7) I ask Apria for a detailed itemized statement of supplies and individual cost for such supplies but after 3 months have yet to see such details. (8) We are now told billing has been sent to collection agents. I have asked Apria to send a bill stating final charges for closure but have not received such.

I was placed on a CPAP machine to help with snoring issues. Was told that after my deductible was paid, insurance would cover the difference. This was the start of the false statements, constant billing after insurance denied them and absolutely no customer service rep in multiple calls that are able to tell me what I supposedly owe as a total. Furthermore, the balances continue to change, never the same. I have consistently told them that I wanted itemized statements and a FINAL TOTAL with no results. While I know others have paid these highway robbers, I refuse to pay a penny until someone gets proper information to me. Stay away from these people and tell your healthcare providers to reconsider who they do business with. I certainly will be!

I needed a wound vac as part of post surgery care. Apria sent a wound vac, but did not seek prior approval from my health insurance, as required. They billed my insurance, and their claim was denied because of the lack of prior approval. Blue Cross's contract with providers says members may not be billed for denied claims. Not only has Apria been billing me, their bills state that they submitted the claim to insurance, received partial payment, and the rest was supposedly my responsibility. All of which was false. I had reached the annual maximum out of pocket under my policy. If Blue Cross had paid anything, they would have paid the entire amount. They are trying to collect from me when they would have been paid long ago if they had followed correct procedures. To cover up the fact that this was their error, they lied. No words for how incompetent and dishonest these folks are.

My doctor ordered me a CPAP machine. Got the run around when trying to ask questions. They Want you to sign papers so they get paid. They don’t care about the consumer. Want answer questions. Told me someone would call from my area in hour to answer my questions. No one did. Machine showed up to my home today without me signing the declaration. Can’t get help over the phone. They just want the money. Calling my insurance company today.

I have written 3 reviews of Apria on Yelp and NOTHING has improved over the years. I am on Medicare which makes things worse. Apria gets worse instead of better. They seem to always ship the wrong item or leave out an item. Then they bill me for it when it is their mistake. Then Medicare won't pay for part of my next order. Management doesn't care. I will now report them to Medicare for all the errors they have made at my expense. Do not deal with this company or you will be very sorry. Tell your doctor to give you another company to get your CPAP supplies from.

My experience with Apria Nacogdoches Tx was good with my nebulizer and my oxygen equipment but went down hill with my bipap. A week after getting my prescription I called to see what the hold up was. They said their RT thought my pressures ordered by the doctor were too high so they wanted me to drive three hours to their office so the RT could verify what the doctor ordered. I told them no and I would go elsewhere. They called me back two minutes later to say they would set the pressures the doctor ordered and they would deliver my machine in two days. Two days later no machine. I had to call them, again, to find out their RT had given my machine to another patient. Said they would reorder one and deliver it at their convenience. No thanks. I went to another company.

Stay away if you can. I have a home oxygen machine supplied by them, that is what my insurance covers. They overbilled me for years and I was not aware of it until last year. Called my insurance company and sent them copies. It took months until they stopped overbilling me but started to mess up again so I just deducted their overage. Check previous three years bills and all have been overcharged. They are to service my machine yearly.
Made two appointments with me and never showed up, Waited in all day. They never called to change appointment. I called my insurance and they contacted them. Apria called and made another appointment, never showed up again. Then a guy called again to set another appointment, I said, "No leave me alone. I have had enough." Four days later a rude subcontractor showed up. Tried to push his way in. Said he was here days ago - LIAR. I have cameras, DVR, etc and was home all day. They have been harassing me on the phone since then, three days in a row, twice a day and numerous times before. Enough is enough.

Incorrect billings, billings for cancelled orders and delayed (if at all) refunds. Impossible to get headgear changed. Poor communication (again, if at all). Total waste of time to try and talk to anyone in "customer service" or "billing". After several tries to straighten out a billing problem, the frustration levels are at a dangerous high. Continually billing for items never shipped, never ordered, or, already paid for seems to be the norm for these guys. Better to not even get started with them if you can avoid it. Their website is a total waste of time also, if you want help with anything, so just stay away from this company.

I have put up with Apria for 1.5 years, and have never had a positive experience. The initial supply of the Cpap machine was the only thing that went correctly. I was refused the initial resupply of my mask as I was one week early in ordering. I ordered a new mask in June and had to go for a fitting in July, I turned in 5 nasal fittings, and only received one nasal pillow, and because of having to have a mask fitted.
When I called today they told me they could only supply nasal pillows. When I asked about what happened to the ones I turned in and were never replaced, they had no answer. I was only met with the semi robotic reply that these are what is available for me. I've had to order at my own cost on Amazon to get supplies supposedly supplied by Apria. They are fat too big and bureaucratic to be helpful, and will never admit when things are their fault. I had to pay a delivery charge for a pulse ox test when they didn't deliver, and I have to pick it up across the city from where I live. Disgusting company.

Apria was the medical device provider for my insurance company who was paying for my CPAP machine. A few months into the rental, I began getting bills from Apria. Apria claimed that the insurance company stopped paying because my Doctor did not turn in a certain report, however, the Doctor claims they did. This went on for months with me making multiple phone calls until finally, everyone got together to solve the issue which centered around Apria never appealing any decision. They also charged my insurance for supplies I never received because they sent them to the wrong address. A representative from Apria told me that it was handled and I stopped receiving the bill, which was up to $600 for about a month and then it started all over again. Once again, this will take me months to clear up. Stay away from this company if given a choice. They are completely incompetent.

If you can avoid using Apria do so. They are nothing but liars. Complained before, they called and were going to resolve the problem. My mother went into intensive care and then died so I had to postpone their service. After mom's funeral I called. Got their recordings, which they obviously never listen to, and have never heard from them. I have an oxygen concentrator that has never been serviced and keeps going up in electric cost. Now running about 75 dollars a month to run. Please avoid apria. If not for your sake then for the sake of your wallet. Their robo calls are quite routine, to sell you supplies not service the equipment. And they'LL tell you they'LL contact them, they never do.

Apria Healthcare worst company ever. Waiting on hold for over an hour. Still holding. I have Sleep Apnea and when I went to put on my mask last night before going to sleep it was hot to touch. It had never shut off. It could have started a fire. The water tray was burnt since water had evaporated from heat. STILL ON HOLD!!

To make matters worse the mask cushion has torn after 2 plus months of use. The manufacturer recommends that you replace the cushion each month. The mask now leaks and is unusable. I called Apria this morning and was told that I am not eligible for a replacement until next month and then it will take up to 9 business days to receive.
So currently my only option as it stands is to stop using the machine until I receive a replacement cushion in 30 to 40 days. I will be stuck in bed exhausted long before then. There should be some way that you can get replacement parts shipped to you urgently so as to not interrupt your therapy. If there is I surely was not offered any. The attitude seems to be that you can do without the machine for a while. Someone needs to educate these healthcare professionals that for some of us that is not the case. I was bedridden and desperate to get this equipment before I received it and I will be in the same condition now that it is down. If I had an extra couple of hundred dollars I would get an rx for a mask from my Dr. and purchase one myself. I do not have an extra 200 dollars. Waiting Again! Sincerely, Dale **

They have never been close to getting an order correctly. It's like you place an order and then random items come to your house. Last time, I told them how they messed up my order and they messed it up the exact same way. That's intentional.

My husband received a prescription for a CPAP as an URGENT matter. Apria was sent the script. They apparently needed more information from the physician, but never notified or called the physician's office. I called to find out why we hadn't received a call and was informed. I called the Dr's office and they had to call Apria to see what info they needed. They do not answer their phones at all. I cannot get hold of them at all. They are rude if they do answer and act like you are an inconvenience instead of a customer. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!
